Supporting Teachers in Florida
Karen Yi, Sun Sentinel 10:37 a.m. EDT, May 6, 2013 Gov. Rick Scott launched a “victory tour” at a school in Sunrise Monday to applaud the $ 480 million approved by the Legislature for teacher raises. Flanked by School Board members and Superintendent Robert Runcie, Scott called the raises a “huge victory” for teachers at [...]
MIAMI— The reality is the Milwaukee Bucks accomplished plenty of what they had hoped for Sunday night against the Miami Heat: Brandon Jennings was walking the walk after his uber-confident pregame talk. Monta Ellis was erasing his regular-season scoring struggles in the matchup. And a surprisingly aggressive defense was forcing a barrage of [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C.— To a degree, the Miami Heat played like strangers Wednesday night. To a degree, they were. Didn’t matter. Not this season, when everything Arison-Riley-Spoelstra has turned to gold. With LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem given the night off due to a variety of ailments, the [...]
SAN ANTONIO— Shane Battier sensed it during Sunday night’s introductions. That’s when the crowd at the AT&T center was informed that LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Mario Chalmers would be held out because of what the Miami Heat termed nagging injuries. “You could see,” Battier, the Heat reserve forward, said, “the collective [...]
ATLANTA— The day began with Dwyane Wade lamenting the extended scoring streaks that Miami Heat had allowed amid their uneven play on the road prior to the All-Star break.

If LeBron James keeps playing this way, it might only take 1,000 more (give or take) to reach 2,000. Hyperbole? Sure. But isn’t that what James’ statistics have come down to, including his 30 points [...]
MIAMI— Sunday afternoon. National television. LeBron James with a franchise record within reach. It was June in February at AmericanAirlines Arena. And a reminder of what the Miami Heat can be when they want to be, when pushed, when showcased. Even with the Los Angeles Lakers playing as something closer to [...]
Miami Heat defeat Whashington Wizards 91-77. MIAMI— At this point, the Miami Heat are willing to take it against any opponent. It didn’t matter they were aggressive in the rebounding department against the lowly Washington Wizards. This was no time to focus on the opposition. It was more about the Heat showing they could indeed [...]
MIAMI— For a while, it was the perfect homecoming for the Miami Heat after two weeks on the road. Dwyane Wade was back after missing two games with a sprained left foot. Udonis Haslem had passed Alonzo Mourning for the franchise career rebounding record in the first quarter. There was a 14-point lead [...]
